Who has access to the information you provide or we collect?

Omega retains access to all personal information that we have collected from you.

Omega may disclose your information to other companies within our group, or to those companies that need to know them in order that we may successfully provide you with your excursion or holiday (e.g hotels and airlines). Your details may also be passed to any company processing data on our behalf (e.g credit card authorization centres), our professional advisors, public authorities (e.g customs, immigration or the police), or where we are required in law to disclose your information. If necessary such data transfers maybe to outside the European Union, where it is possible that data protection controls are not as stringent as in the UK.

When our service is available via the websites of our partners, those partners may have access to your information. Their use of your personal information is governed by their privacy policies. Omega is not responsible for the privacy policies and practices of any other websites, even if you access those using links from this Site or if you can access this Site or use our services from them. We therefore recommend that you check the policy of each site that you visit and make sure that you are comfortable with the terms of such policies before providing any personal information.

If our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new business partners or owners.
